Steve on FNC just said that the winds are 150 MPH, but since the storm is moving at 15 MPH, it will feel like the winds are 165 MPH...
Gad! I sometimes wonder where Steve comes up with this stuff...
The east side of the storm that is blowing on shore is currently 165 MPH relative to the ground, 150 MPH from circular motion and 15 miles from the northward movement of the storm. Fact. Likewise, the west side of the storm that is blowing off shore has a ground speed of 135 MPH, 150 MPH - 15 MPH. Again, fact. Steve didn't make it up.
